March.
We are well underway with finalising the schedules so
will distribute these around town as soon as they
become available.
This year a few changes have been made to the various
compe11on sec1ons. In response to feedback from
both compe1tors and the show stewards some new
classes have been added and others removed.
Flyers with a summary of the classes for children will
also be distributed very soon. These are copied from

out what your children would like to enter so that they
can begin working on some cra4 or a wri7en piece of
work.
Entertainment for show day is also in the process of
being organised.

of the Showgirl compe11on this year and we thank her
for making the 1me to prepare for it.
This year the finals are being held in Finley on Saturday
15 February, with individual interviews held during the
day, and include lunch with the judges. A formal dinner
is held in the evening, and each of the contestants is
asked a few ques1ons about themselves on stage,

the bushfire emergency.
Director Public Health, Tracey Oakman is reminding
residents and their families to take extra precau1ons

bushfires.
“Residents returning home a4er bushfires should first
check with local emergency services to see if it is safe,”
Ms Oakman said.
“Burnt houses, sheds or other structures can leave
behind health hazards including fallen or sharp objects,
smouldering coals, damaged electrical wires, leaking
gas or weakened walls,” she said.
When returning home people are reminded to:
* Wear protec1ve clothing, including sturdy footwear,
heavy-duty work gloves, disposable coveralls and P2/

Holbrook Happenings 6 29 January 2020BUSHFIRE AFFECTED RESIDENTS IN
GREATER HUME COUNCIL ABANDONED
Residents of Greater Hume Council impacted by the bushfires that have swept
across the region are feeling frustrated and abandoned as they con1nue to wait
for news on whether they will be able to access emergency bushfire grants of
up to $75,000.
Greater Hume Mayor, Heather Wilton, has been lobbying Federal and NSW government poli1cians for the last
10 days only to be told that a decision is “imminent”.
Councillor Wilton said “I have to say that the drip feeding of news on this is only adding to the stress and
frustra1on that we, and our residents, are feeling. We will all have a lot to learn from this disaster and one of
the issues at the top of the agenda will have to be the way in which assistance is provided to people impacted
by natural disasters. I truly feel for people in Greater Hume who have lost prac1cally everything in rela1on to
their farming business and are s1ll wai1ng for news on whether they can access the bushfire recovery grants”.
“This major fire event started three weeks ago! People are looking for long-term help and the only way they are
going to get that help is to have Greater Hume included in the Category C declara1on.”
The frustra1on felt by Greater Hume has been exacerbated by the news that landowners in all of the Victorian
councils across the border from Greater Hume, even including Wodonga City Council, are eligible for grants of
up to $75,000.
“Landowners and Greater Hume Council should be treated exactly the same as those councils in north east
Victoria and Snowy Valleys Council. This is one fire event and all of the landowners and councils impacted
should be treated fairly and equitably.”

We would also like to thank everyone for the responses to the
fire dona1ons appeal that we had set up instore, with a large
amount of local dona1ons star1ng the process of assistance to
the fire fighters in the area.
Metcash also contributed 2 pallets of Community Co water to the
case, donated at the height of the emergency.

the other plants. Apparently I am not alone with this
problem. Social media gardener groups are blaming
the sudden hot/cold weather events we received
periodically throughout spring and early summer.
However, there is a new crop of flowers so hopefully
they will provide tomatoes.
In contrast I have just dug a bumper crop of potatoes.
No disappointment here. These oval shaped purple
skinned beau1es have a creamy flesh which makes
beau1ful fluffy mash. The other annual crops in my
garden ready for harvest are corn cobs which as they
mature I pick to eat fresh and to freeze. Whether
eaten raw, gently steamed or lightly charred on the
BBQ the cobs are sweet and juicy.
I was surprised to discover that what I thought was an
apple cucumber when planted is now forming baby
bu7ernut pumpkins. Note to self to label seedlings
correctly. I am yet to see if the other plant will be a
cucumber.
Every year is different and you cannot always be sure
of what produce you may get. Hence con1nual
plan1ngs now of quick growing crops could be more
reliable without wai1ng a significant length of 1me to
harvest the produce. In 3 to 4 weeks you can have

with carrots, beetroot and spring onions ready in 8
